nIn this lyrical picture book from two breakout picture book creators, a young Black child waits for--and worries about--her father while hes away from home. A sensitive, poignant portrayal of a familys worries, joys, and comforts, to sit alongside books by Jacqueline Woodson and Christian Robinson.n nEvery night when Daddy gets home from work, Olivia gives him a big hug and knows that the evening will be full of love--and fun. Together, she, Daddy, and Momma will make a feast for dinner, clean up, dance to old-school tunes, and read stories. But every morning when Daddy goes to work, Olivia worries, worries, worries. Be safe, she and Momma tell him. But what if he isnt? Sometimes other people arent, like the people Olivia sees on the news. Thud, thud, thud, goes Olivias heart. Thump, thump, thump, all through the long day, until she hears the jangle of Daddys keys announcing hes home.n nBrittany J. Thurmans poetic text deftly explores the day-to-day life of a young Black child and her family--their joys and their fears--with a rhythm and musicality perfect for reading aloud. Shamar Knight-Justices expressive artwork sings with color, texture, and warmth. Forever and Always respects the deep emotions of young readers while offering comfort and reassurance to any child waiting for a loved one to come home. For readers of Nigel and the Moon, The Year We Learned to Fly, and Saturday.n
